The Bright Emporium

Est. 2015

The Bright Emporium is a space like no other. Our walls are adorned with books, so you’d be forgiven for thinking we are a library — although there is definitely nothing quiet about us! We are a space for creatives, the dreamers and the fun seekers. For children who want to try new things and meet new friends — to those who want a place to be themselves. We are a destination for the next generation of creators, not users; the pioneers of tomorrow.
There is a workshop for everyone ranging from 1-6 years old. We are a place of discovery and exploration, so be a Bright Spark and join us.

Elia StuartAttended with a 5-year-old last monthGigi (age 5) loves this enchanting emporium of books and drama
Acting out stories with Cat and Hutch to listening to authors new stories and drawing with illustrators. Every kid should be inspired and this is the place. Who knows your child may be the futures next author/writer and this is where it all started “once upon a time...”
